The group of experts who advised the Iraq Study Group was assembled again to provide an assessment of progress in Iraq since the publishing of the ISG report and they’ve released their findings. According to the WaPo, the group concludes that political progress is “so slow, halting and superficial” and political fragmentation “so pronounced” that […]

Iraqi Troops Still Not Up To The Task

The terrorists won.  I think when the President suspends the 4th Ammendment as a country we really should pack it in.  Couple that with the fact that no one in our country is even a little bit outraged (those that matter at least) pretty much makes their winning a slam dunk. Bin Laden 500 years […]

“WE DON’T TORTURE. PERIOD”

While reading this, please keep in mind that Mike Castle has supported the President 100% on this subject.  Also, don’t forget that I believe Carper signed off on eliminating Habeaus Corpus too which ties directly into this.  Couric asked Mr. Bush if this is a tacit acknowledgement that the way these detainees were handled was […]

I apologize if I have gotten away from this…. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy.” ,  “The problem is the government cannot be trusted to enrich uranium because […]

BAGHDAD — It was billed as a national “dialogue” that would bring Iraq’s disparate and warring factions together to discuss their differences and emerge with a blueprint for peaceful coexistence. But if the national reconciliation conference held here on Tuesday revealed anything, it was that the deep political and religious fissures that run through this […]

Admiral Fallon Resigns as Commander CENTCOM

Filed in Uncategorized by on March 11, 2008 8 Comments

He wasn’t Commander for quite a year, but evidently his sin was that he was a Commander on the Ground™ that BushCo did not want to listen to. Brandon Friedman at Vets Voice has the story.

Two morons at TIME will be cleaning out their desks very soon.  Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer will not have their contracts renewed.  Kristol is one of the worst offenders in this entire Bush/neocon mess.  I am certain that this won’t be the last that we hear of them, but can I at least hope […]
